WeWorkRemotely
What if you could get paid to do what you love? WeWorkRemotely, a site for freelance remote workers, was created to do just that. Employers post their projects and freelancers bid on them. Freelancers are free to set their own rate and the project is awarded to the freelancer with the best rate match. All payments are handled by Escrow who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure both employers and freelancers are getting what they agreed upon at every stage of the process. The only catch is that they’re currently only available in Western Europe.
- The Muse
Making money can be a hassle and freelance sites make it easier than ever. Why go out to work, then come home to work? With all the time we spend at our jobs, why not get paid for it? The Muse is one of those freelancing sites that has enabled people to earn as much as they like without having to stress about whether or not they’re going to have any money left over for themselves. In this piece, we’ll go over some things you should know about the site and how you can benefit from it. First, let’s start with what they offer.
The site pays you to do a wide variety of tasks ranging from blog posts and essays, to video editing and audio engineering. You’ll find that there are different categories where each task falls under, making it easy for someone looking for specific skillset in order to complete their job requirements (i.e., videography). If none of these categories interest you in particular, then you can create your own category and set your rates per hour based on what your services are worth on the market.
Problogger.com
An online job board called ProBlogger Jobs offers positions for content writers. On average, a few new jobs are posted on the board each day by a variety of businesses, from start-ups to well-established online businesses.
Although ProBlogger Jobs is legitimate, you should always perform your own research on each job before applying. Blogging guru Darren Rowse, who has a well-established reputation as an authority within the blogging community, founded the website that houses the job board. For more than ten years, the job board has been one of the best places to find jobs related to blogs.
The fact that anyone wishing to post an advertisement on the job board must pay to do so makes ProBlogger Jobs unique.
Why is this important?
It matters because it quickly eliminates the majority of the “bottom feeder” customers that individuals looking for content writing jobs frequently deal with on job boards like Upwork.Upwork is a freelance site where you can earn money for your work. Freelances can find a job and apply for it, or hire someone themselves to complete their project. Upwork is also ranked one of the top 100 websites in the United States by Forbes. The company has experienced significant growth since its inception and now has 1.6 million registered freelancers, and 5.5 million registered businesses all over the world.
